The document describes the features and performance of the Agilent ZORBAX Rapid Resolution High Definition SB-CN column. The column consists of uniform, spherical ZORBAX SB-CN particles with a controlled pore size. The columns are loaded using a proprietary high-pressure slurry-loading technique to achieve uniform bed density and optimum column efficiency.
This document provides a technical overview of the Agilent ZORBAX Rapid Resolution High Definition (RRHD) SB-CN threaded columns. Designed for use with ultra-high performance liquid chromatographs (UHPLCs) like the Agilent 1290 Infinity LC, these columns utilize StableBond packing technology to ensure stability and longevity under aggressive mobile phase conditions, including low pH and high temperatures up to 80 °C. The stationary phase is chemically bonded to high-purity ZORBAX porous silica microspheres to reduce adsorption of basic compounds.
| Operating Pressure | 1200 bar |
|---|---|
| Maximum Operating Temperature | 80 °C |
| Particle Size | 1.8 µm |
| Pore Size | 80 Å |
| Compatible Instruments | Agilent 1290 Infinity LC |
The columns support operation up to 1200 bar (17000 psi), though optimal lifetime is achieved up to 1000 bar.
Long-term storage should be in a pure organic solvent, preferably an aprotic liquid such as 100% acetonitrile.
Yes, the SB-CN phase is particularly well-suited for basic, neutral, or acidic samples due to its ability to reduce strong adsorption of basic compounds.
